Canadian Mortgage Rates Rise
TD Canada Trust, CIBC and RBC Royal Bank have all announced mortgage rate increases this week. The RBC 5 year fixed mortgage rose 0.25 % to 5.44 %. Compare that to today`s best mortgage rates to the right of this page.
A TD economist said earlier in the week that mortgage rates are affected by bond yields, which have recently risen due to concerns about inflation and optimism about future economic prospects in the U.S.

A quick update on the mortgage rates from the major banks. For the big 4 banks, BMO, CIBC, RBC and TD, the closed mortgage rates have dropped over the last few weeks. A sample 5 year closed rate is available at 5.29%
However, the variable rates have all increased during the same time period. A sample 5 year open mortgage rate is available at 3.80%
Is now a good time to lock in a variable rate mortgage?
With the economy in the U.S. not showing much improvement and interest rates there at all time lows, there is an expectation that interest rates in Canada will hold at present levels for the immediate future.
However, it does pay to shop around for mortgage rates just as you would for a major purchase. I recommend comparing mortgage rates online on a regular basis to see if you can get a better deal than what you are currently paying. In my opinion, a great place to do this is at the link below:

As expected prior to an increase in the Canada prime rate, the major banks have raised interest rates on fixed mortgages.
“CIBC and National Bank followed in the footsteps of other major Canadian banks Tuesday raising the rates on residential fixed mortgages.
Similar to RBC and TD Canada Trust, CIBC and National Bank hiked their three, four and five-year closed mortgages by 20, 40 and 60 basis points respectively.
A three-year mortgage will now come coupled with a 4.35% interest rate, a four-year at 5.34% and the benchmark five-year fixed mortgage at 5.85% at both banks. National Bank is offering a discount on its five-year rate for a limited time.
Mortgage specialists say homeowners risk debt loads they can’t handle as rates come off historic lows. Real estate watchers say the increases will help cool at Canada’s red-hot property market.
Economists say the fairly aggressive rate hikes are in response to the rallying bond market and suggestions by the Bank of Canada that its overnight lending rate could rise sooner than expected. Inflation has outpaced estimates in recent months and the central bank’s pledge to keep interest rates low has been conditional upon core inflation hovering around or below 2%.”
